BeetlePod, I don't know what Tamar has planned for the future, but you could do yourself a mobile phone meter, and it would be makeshift, and nothing like Tamar's present solution.

Exetel doesn't provide an XML feed for mobiles as is done for internet data, so an XMLHttpRequest in javascript (the basis of the Mac widget) is precluded straightaway.

You would need to heavily alter Tamar's javascripts, or make a new similar application to enter the secure server php at https://www.exetel.com.au/members/usage_mobile4.php, extract the html input form element from the server output, respond to the server, and download the html output for scraping. In other words, ugly and awkward and nasty, and the Exetel page isn't even updated at regular intervals through the day. Having got the data, it could then be displayed. If the web site changes then the meter script would need changing too.

Personally if I had to, I'd just do a quick and dirty read and scrape job in a shell script, or better, set a bookmark in my browser. With an XML output from Exetel things would be different.

Hi & Thanks!!
I really like this widget.
I've just changed to the "NF/21NoTel" plan. Offpeak up/downloads don't actually have a fixed limit and as such appear as red, excess usage on the widget screen.
Is there anything that could be done to change that?

Perhaps if there is no way for the widget to find the current months download limit then maybe I could suggest that the end user be able to enter in a value themselves.

Personally I would just enter something like 50GB knowing that this is under the limit and at the same time more than I will use in a month. If someone did this and ever went over that number the red bar would serve as a reminder to double check what the limit for that month is.

I have been using the Tamham Widget for a Few years in my Old House now I have moved and Have a New Number . I tried just to put the new number and Password in the Widget but every time I restart it comes back with old Phone number.
I tried Deleting the Widget and downloading a new one and reinstalling but still the old Number returns ??

Can some give me step by step Instructions on how to Clear the complete Tamham Widget bits I need so i can reinstall a new one that will work ! OR let me know the Best way to fix this.
I read something on another post about removing a PREF file or P.LIST or something like that , but could not find it .
So would be great if someone can let me know exactly WHAT to remove and WHERE to find it.

globalmark, try the following steps:

1. Remove the widget from dashboard: in dashboard, click the "+", then click "manage widgets", scroll down to find the widget and then hit the red "-" button.
2. Remove the prefs file: in Finder, go to your home folder, then select the Library folder, and then the Preferences folder. Scroll down to locate the file widget-com.tamham.widget.exetelmeter.plist. Delete it.
3. Empty trash.
4. Download and re-install the widget.
